<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Cambria><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>After
today&#8217;s meeting, I thought I would try to draw a slightly different representation
of the functional model diagram than what is in the current model document.&nbsp;
In the current model it is very unclear what and where the &#8220;Cloud Print
Manager&#8221; is (is in its own cloud or is it proxy (so not really a cloud
service) or in the printer (so not really a cloud service)).&nbsp;&nbsp; Why does
the (Print) Client &#8220;register&#8221; with the Cloud Provider instead of
just using the Cloud Print Provider. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Cambria><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>In
the functional model attached, I propose the more cloud centric model which
places service, security and other functionality in the Cloud. The model is not
specifically concerned with interfaces such as using IPP; it is meant to be
more a very top level view.&nbsp; In the attached model the Client uses or accesses
the Cloud Provider for printing services.&nbsp; The User interacts with the Cloud
Print Provider to select a Print Service associated with the User.&nbsp; The Cloud
Print Provider then sends Capability information (which likely has no secure
information) to the Client.&nbsp; The Print Client creates Print Job Ticket
(with a Print Content reference) which is sent to the Print Service (or Print
Service Manager) for printing.&nbsp; The Print Service accepts (or rejects the
Print Job).&nbsp; The Print Service prints the Print Job and sends status info
to the Print Status Service. &nbsp;&nbsp;Federated printing also work quit well
with this model. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
